I was adopted at three days old and have been blessed for sixty four years, my ninety nine year old mother still calls me almost every day to tell me how much she loves me.

Crimes against children should be punishable by death smh.

I'm not a very violent person, but sometimes I admit I just want to take a lead pipe to some of these people. How you could ever do that to a child is beyond me. I hope their lives are completely ruined and that even after they serve their time the rest of their life is just as miserable as they made poor Hana.

This case makes me LIVID. That poor baby suffered so greatly and did not ever deserve it. I so wish I could have saved both Hannah and Emmanuel. Those kids had been through enough before ever being adopted. This case is so awful 😭

That 911 call is just insane. It's so dumb. "She killed herself, she's really rebellious!" It's sad that they didn't open an investigation at all until yet another child was threatened.

The fact that her death was suspicious but it took the reporting of abuse to another child to get things moving is ridiculous. Why wasn’t an investigation started straight away?

I read a few small segments from "to train up a child" and was horrified. I wonder how Michael pearls "well trained" children are doing now. My heart breaks at this awful story. Rest in peace Hannah ❤️

".....the next time she saw a doctor was at her autopsy two years later." That statement got me. Bless her heart ❤️

The monster's knitting circle and their neighbors were just as complicit. They heard how that woman talked about the child. Neighbors saw how that child was treated and did not call CPS. Sickening.

I’m grateful I was adopted by a woman who wanted children and wasn’t a cruel and monstrous human. Thank you for covering these horrible crimes

My country (not Ethiopia) stopped overseas adoption all together after this case came to light. If foreigners want to adopt they are told to move into our country and live there with the child until the child turns 18.

Hannah had such a beautiful smile. Oh my goodness, how could a person fail to love her to pieces. 💔

My heart broke hearing how they hated her for having Hep C-as if that’s something Hannah could have ever controlled. I hope these monsters burn in hell someday.

She bought this african child as a virtue signal for those in her church, realized she was not just an exotic toy but an actual child with problems stemming from poverty and abuse/neglect, and decided to torture her instead of reaching out for help or considering rehoming her-I think international adoption can be really great and healthy in many cases, but stories like these make me wonder if the good can outweigh the bad

Wow. I am adopted. I ache for those poor kids. Thank you for doing this story. I cant believe they called themselves "Christians". You are really wonderful for getting attention to cases like these. People need to know.

None of the family or kids "liked Hannah"! Absolutely heartbreaking.

the fact that they tried to lie about her age and had her body exhumed just to avoid that specific charge is the perfect indicator of who these people are. just pure evil

You've profiled a lot of killers on your show. Some are nasty, some are malicious, some are just misguided. But after watching every single episode I can honestly say that this couple is truly worthy of the moniker "Monsters".

This wasn't about discipline, this was simply an act of evil. No words can truly describe these two.

A social worker once told me a spotless house was the first sign of child abuse

My parents had these same values and looked at me as demonic as well. Luckily I escaped shortly after they pulled me out of school. They hated me and used religion as an excuse to abuse me. So glad this is not as common anymore. RIP Hannah, sweet girl ❤

I wish the courts would let us handle individuals like this

We have to get the word out to get this fantastic channel to a million subscribers. The extensive research and effort put into every one of these videos is something all true crime fans need to appreciate. Keep up the quality content.

A friend of mine gifted me a copy of that same book. I never looked at it because I felt like she was judging my parenting skills by giving me the book. I threw it in a drawer…years later I started hearing about this book whenever child abuse was mentioned. I rummaged around and found the book, promptly threw it away and find myself wondering often if my friend actually used the book to ‘help’ her parent her two boys. 😳 such a sad sad story. My heart is broken for these sweet, beautiful children. 💔

I'll never understand how or why some children are brought into this world only to suffer through their childhood until they die a horrific death. It's so sad. I hate it.

Jules, in all seriousness, you should do audiobooks. Your voice is a gift

Emanuel is a STAR!!! Imagine this level of bravery, testifying against these evil (and, yes, I use the term as the Bible would no doubt do)people! I am so pleased that he has finally found a safe and supportive home. May he have every good thing in life from now on...❤

This is one of the more heartbreaking stories you've told. I hope Emanuel is now living a life full of love and safety.

It’s amazing how many of these are related to some religious fanatics. It never fails.

Can we talk about the clear confidence that our guy has developed? Putting himself front and center for the world to see and not changing the quality of the content one bit. Love to see it, maybe even some interviews of officers involved in future cases! Sky is the limit for this channel.

Heart wrenching! That poor sweet lil girl suffered so much in her short life. What a disgrace this family is

This one got me SUPER heated. These people deserve the same treatment.

I am so angry I can't express words on the emotions I'm feeling hearing this story! I'm so hurt both these children came from a place full of hardship, to be placed in a much worse place, and made to suffer.

This is barbaric! How absolutely sick and cruel! Usually I’m impervious to true crime stories but this one devastated me. Rest in Peace beautiful Hannah 🕊️

Your voice is perfect for these stories ❤️. Great Channel. Thank you! Keep them coming!

This is one of the most disgusting heart wrenching stories I’ve ever heard. I became visibly shaken and my heart palpitated as I listened to this. My wife was seriously worried. There is absolutely nothing else as far as entertainment, that has had me so physically affected. Your voice and style of storytelling Is absolutely fantastic

As soon as the family started being described as fundamentalist religious homeschooler isolationists I knew exactly where this was going. BTDT and was raised by similar people with similar attitudes, many of whom adopted 'unfortunate' children to 'save' them. I have no contact and haven't since I was old enough to leave. Ugh. I can't fathom looking at those little faces and doing things like this. I just can't.

This was hard to listen to it hurt my heart because I was adopted when I was 13 months old in Detroit Michigan. I'm so grateful that I have adoptive parents that loved me.

You know my professional witness for my case is a CPS home based therapist and he has told me exactly what you're saying that they like the idea, it was fashionable, but it was just like buying a purse to them. Very sad. As a mother who has adopted a child with behavioral problems, I would defend her with my life.

It never fails to be true “good people do good things, bad people do bad things, but it takes religion to make good people to bad things!”

I was adopted from post soviet Russia this case hit a string with me. I was raised by two better then anyone could ask for parents. I’m so sorry about her

Puts a scar on my heart. That poor girl, I pray boys life is joyfully abundant.

I’m an older millennial female who was homeschooled and I despised it. We were abused and deprived of so much fun and basic rites of passage.

I have adopted 8. I pray they knew I gave them everything I could! I am 51 and picked up a newborn in Jan. I will be adopting her too ❤

If you start explaining the death of your daughter to the 911 operator by saying, "well, she's really rebellious..." I mean...yikes. 🚩 🚩 🚩

The whole beginning of this story was textbook abuse. The thing that got me teary-eyed was the gravestone. The level of depravity in that family is disgusting. WHERE'S THE EXIT, I WANT TO LEAVE! 😢

No matter how strict you think your parenting methods should be, witholding food, water and the comfort of a warm bed is abuse. Even criminals are supplied with these basic human needs. Murderers. These are children ffs !

Wow... this case has me speechless. These parents should have to undergo the same exact abuse they put that innocent child through.

I feel so bad for Hannah. May she rest in peace.

Is it just me or does this episode feel like a horror story come true? I gasped thru the whole episode like how can someone be so cruel? And when Hannah stopped even reacting to punishments she was just silent it's like she had already been broken and given up. This poor girl and the final act of the family to put their family name on the headstone and AND to make her appear that she was 16! They literally spat on her grave..can't let he rest in peace ❤

I hate the fact that their own children didn't like the adopted children. It boggles my mind that they didn't even give them a chance.

She just hated women and girls. She needs to admit it. Horrible vile people. Those poor children rest in peace Hannah ❤ Thank you for another great video Jiles

i’m living for the face reveal, seeing ur channel grow while continuing to ethically report these stories is huge. i hope more ppl take your lead.

I can’t wrap my head around this type of crime. There is nothing but pure evil in you if you can harm a child. I read “A Child Called It” and was just devastated by everything done to the poor boy. It’s just heartbreaking. The support isn’t there, the funding isn’t there, to keep up with all children in the system. This will continue to happen, especially since Christian Nationalism is taking over.

I knew one of their natural kids and am intimately familiar with the case. Thank you for covering it. It really is sickening and doesn't get much attention..

I was adopted by the best mom ever! I thank God every day for her. There are good ones out there!

One of my favorite channels on YT! Thank you for putting out such great work consistently!

Still saying you're one of my top favorite producers of content. Love it. Amazing voice, amazing sass, and your humility in representing the victims is always heart touching. Keep up the good work, my friend.😊

Hannah fought for her life, had a strong sense of self worth and self esteem that her adoptive parents needed to destroy by any means necessary. The fact that she was African and a girl made this especially tragic. How many girls like Hannah were mistreated because they actually knew their worth?

" they were willing to do whatever they had to to be accepted as adoptive parents" ....🤮 except stop using physical discipline against their kids and be willing to actually love and put in work to actually help an adopted child.... thus shiz is heart wrenching!

Jiles, you're my homeboi. I am from belgium and far far away but i am so happy i found you and your channel.❤

I live in the town where this happened. It was infuriating to be so close to such a tragic, abusive situation. There are more families in the area who adopt multiple children from African countries and I've heard about more abuse first-hand. It becomes a status symbol for these people. I had an adopted young Ethiopian man stay at my home for awhile after he turned 18 and he described a very harsh, cult-like home life as a young child. This was before Hannah was so tragically murdered. There really shoukd be red flag laws for multiple adoptions and very frequent checkups on ANY adopted child. Hannah did not deserve this treatment in any way. So incredibly sad.

What makes me sad is knowing that there are more stories out there like this and we have no idea until it’s too late. I really hope Social Work gets better funding, it’s such an important part of the government.

As a survivor of child abuse. I am so sorry this little girl had to go through this! I am so so sorry. This video hits me just a bit different…

How disgusting of a crime and so disrespectful putting in stone that shes 3yrs older. That whole fam is def insane ...i could never!

I remember "Petals on the Wind" on TV. It's the sequel to "Flowers in the Attic." Cathy confronted her scary grandmother and told her God doesn't beat and starve children like the grandmother did.

My mom is a foster kid who was in the care of the Catholic Guardian Society. she was in and out of their care through her entire childhood and teen years. She was regularly abused emotionally, physically, and s.a. while being in foster homes. Her last bad foster home was at the age of 13 years-old old when an Irish couple from Staten Island foster her. She had 11 siblings who were also foster kids. All of them were non-white and had disabilities. The foster couple had their one biological child and my mom made child number thirteen. The foster parents were given an expensive home to live in and some 10k plus in foster care funds. Having 13 kids even back in the 70s was still expensive. Just as expected, these foster parents abused every single foster child. This went on for a couple of years until the old case worker had left and a new one took over. My mom told me she was a black woman who thought it was kind of odd that a couple who previously had only one child with no disabilities would take in 12 more none white childern with disabilities. That all the foster kids had no updated records of doctor visits. The case worker showed up without calling first. She immediately had every single foster child seen by a doctor. All 12 including my mom were severely suffering from malnutrition and were being physically abuse. It would take another year for the case worker to successful reassign new foster parents and kick out the old foster family.When the case worker ask the previous parents why they abuse them (foster kids.) The father repsonse was "who else is gonna give a damn about a bunch of n-word kids." If it wasn't for that case worker actually caring about the well being of my mom and her other 11 foster siblings. I think most of them would had died and Catholic Guaridian Society would have swept it under rug.

These people are definitely Monsters. Unbelievable how people can treat children like this. Rot in hell.

You know, I REALLY like your asides now that you breakaway to see you speaking. It’s really great to see you evolve your channel and techniques!

I love the fact that we get to see you now!It's so hard to put a voice to a face. But it's nice to see and hear from you.

Oh, so the adoption agency didn't do anything after 2 years of no response? Wow very responsible. I wish the state would make a special recommendation to make Carrie and her husband sleep outside year round. At least until they die from the same things Hannah did. I really hope her foster siblings are alright, no one deserves this.

You nailed it with the trendy, people do the same with dog breeds which is bad enough but a child that's beyond cruel and then supposed to be Christians makes me sick! Poor poor Hannah. Those kids thought they were getting parents who would feed and cloth them plus having brother's and sisters. What horrible cruel people. Her death atleast saved the rest so she didn't die for nothing. Who would even buy and follow a book written from some man living in the back woods...smh..so so sad for Hannah. Now she really is with Jesus getting all the love she deserves. 💜💜💜

Thank you for covering this one with such care. I love your videos because you always take such care of the real victims. I especially love that at the end of your videos, you give fantastic information for help. Keep being great!!!

I love that we finally get to see the man behind the voice!!! I hope this is your new format 😊

Jiles, you're empathy, your delivery....your soothing voice 'nice to see your face'......all of your videos are awesome; you are awesome! May Hannah rest in Peace.❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻 May Carrie and Larry both rot in hell for all eternity and then some more, this is so tragic, Hannah was such a beautiful little girl....these adoptive agencies need to be monitored much more closely and at a much higher 'transparent' level. I'm not a violent person by any means but monsters such as this 'let me at 'em'....give me one moment with the two of them...that's all I will need to set them 'straight'.....assholes.

So good to see the man behind the voice! You have gotten me through many long nights. I appreciate you Mr.Jiles, Thank you. 🌻💛🙏🏽

I am absolutely heartbroken. Thank you for the presentation. I want everyone to take responsibility for every child and keep a check as well as possible on every single one of them on this planet.

I love your channel, your in depth storytelling, and your voice. Thank you man.

Horrendous doesn’t even begin to describe this. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain Hannah went through. I hope Emmanuel gets so much love in his new home. 😭

As you know Jiles, I've been a long-time (largely silent) subscriber, but this mess prompted me to comment. Hiding behind "religion" etc. is something that riles me up like you wouldn't believe. This pair is no exception. I hope they rot, somewhere, anywhere. This shit not only hurts my brain, but it also hurts my soul. Thanks for the vid. Cheers from Australia! 😊🦘

You literally have the best voice & narrations. Love your storytelling!!! Thanks Jiles!

I like that you showed yourself in the intro & put a face to the voice. I appreciate your work on your channel. Thank you

Wow, this is hitting me in very emotional way. I wish Hannah was loved and protected the way she deserved and needed to be. God rest her soul and anyone with a similar story.

This one was rough. I felt like I finished the video as this case couldn't get worse, and then I noticed I was only halfway through. I hope Hanna is resting peacefully, she truly didn't deserve this.

Every time I watch one of your videos, I think, it can’t get worse than this! But each time I watch them it does! I really like your no BS approach to these monsters!

As someone who hopes to be able to adopt one day, my heart breaks for these kids. How do people like this get blessed with children???

I bet they were part of the quiver full movement. Psalms 127:4 says, “Children are like arrows in the hands of a warrior…” I was raised in fundamentalist christianity and it’s very common to see parents adopting or giving birth to children they can’t actually care for. And yeah - that definitely leads to abuse. My parents had that stupid book “To Train Up a Child”. Thanks for covering cases like this with such honesty. ❤

I’m so sorry you had to experience evil people like your adoptive parents Hannah. Sleep peacefully Angel .

Saying she’s “Throwing herself all around” while she’s struggling to even hold herself up from the abuse and neglect… sickening

Jiles, you are truly The GOAT and I appreciate your channel and all your hard work that comes along with developing them!!!

Hell yeah. Bedtime video Edit: 15 minutes in. I feel too disgusted at these "parents" to sleep peacefully. A grim reminder that a lot of laws we have today- especially those pertaining to the safety and wellbeing of children- have been written in blood from past incidents. But cases like these will always continue to repeat themselves. Its a shame

This is one of the most disturbing, disgusting cases I've heard in a while. What kind of p.o.s. adopts a child just to abuse and end up murdering her. From day 1 the family hated both children. These people got extremely light sentences considering the circumstances. Just awful..

Hey! a face to put with the voice we all love!! Great to see you and thanks for all the awesome content you put out!! peace!

I love this channel. Top notch content with a side of sarcasm. Couldn’t ask for more 🙌🏽💯

The extended damage they have done to all these children is unforgivable. I hope they rot in prison

Wtf is wrong with these people? How can anyone be this evil? I’m so disgusted, sad, angry, and I can’t find another word to describe how I feel! I’m not at the end yet, but they both deserve the same treatment as Hannah!

This is the worst case of child abuse I’ve ever heard of. This story left me in tears.

I knew several families that followed the Pearls "discipline" advice. I didn't know the extent of it till I looked up the book later. I was sickened and disturbed. They have since completely turned around and are aware of the damage those methods cause.

Hannah is the victim not Carrie. This poor girl suffered so much. Any human that can do that to another human let alone a child is a true monster. Such a sad, tragic case of child abuse. In my opinion they got off easy. I hope they deal with abuse everyday their in prison. Being adopted is a huge adjustment and double that on top of the kids being from different countries. RIP Hannah and my prayers are with Emmanuel

I literally almost couldn’t get through this video. It breaks my heart that any child could be treated that way.
